COACH QUOTES

Quotes Czech Republic vs. Estonia

Czech Republic Head Coach Michal Ježdík:

We have played good game in defence. That means that we made pressure and we had a lot of free shots. Both our older players Ladislav Sokolovský and Petr Benda played a great game and they were the key to win this game. These three matches were very demanding, but we had one big advantage - we needn´t to travel and we could focus only on our performance.

Czech Republic Player Ladislav Sokolovský:

I think that the difference of 26 points is very nice, but it was not so easy as it looks like. I agree with our coach, we were aggressive and we made some easy baskets. That was one key to win the game. The second key were our great fans and I would like to thank them all for their support. They were our sixth player on the court.

Estonia Head Coach Ullar Karde:

It was third game on the road and we had a mental problem, because it was our sixth game in eighteen days for us, so we spent the most of time in bus or hotel. I congratulate to opponent, but I still feel bad, because we didn't fight tonight.

Estonia Player Tanel Sokk:

When we started we wanted to try too much to make the game with three point shots, but it was difficult to win with these stupid player´s mistakes. We were nervous from the beginning and that was also the reason of our lost.
